So today I go into work 'til 2:30, and then I'm free for a day or so.
This job has really been depressing me, it's stresses me out... I get blamed for everything because I'm the new person, although they trust me enough to leave me in the front by myself to do things.... like take orders and get the food out... even with a fucking rush going on. If they'd put the fucking orders out correctly, I would bag them correctly. I get told one thing, and I answer customers questions with that knowledge only to find out I was wrong and have people be bitchy at me, but when I try to double-check and ask questions I can't for the life of me get anybody to pay attention.
I hate not being the one in charge, or whose been there for awhile.
And my manager completely embarassed me in front of a customer for no real reason, the customer kept telling her my mistake (taking a call-in order before helping her) was alright and that she didn't mind, that it was ok, etc. I could tell she was uncomfortable with how big a deal the manager was making out of it.
One of the managers told me I needed to smile more after I'd been about to cry all day because she and other employees would stand beside me where I'm taking orders and talk loudly to friends and customers....so that I couldn't hear what was being ordered and couldn't get help when I needed it. I told her I normally smile a lot, it's just I was stressed and she asked why and I told her and she felt bad, though.
But the manager who embarassed me also keeps telling me I'm doing a good job and I'm a fast learner... I still plan on finding another job, and then a second job to go with that. I've just been depressed a lot lately because of my job, I work 3-4 hour shifts with 3 hour breaks in-between (and I can only spend one day wandering around the mall for 3 hours not spending money) and then another 3 hour shift... that sucks. So my whole day is either taken up doing work and nothing, or I waste gas driving home. The other people have said I'm doing good too, but then they just give me these attitudes like they think I'm a dipshit. I never even really got trained all that much, just barely shown a register, thrown on, she told me she'd be working with me and then she goes off. It's amazing how many people order grilled chicken and don't specify if they want the salad, the wrap, the club or the breast sandwich. At first I didn't realize there were so many options so I gave them the club every time.... come on people, specify what the fuck you want.
In happier news, Hairspray comes out tomorrow! I don't have money, but I'm going to be seeing it, anyways. I'm also going to be buying Harry Potter when it comes out Saturday morning (I'll be there at 12:01am... and then go right home and go to sleep so I can get to work that morning). My friend might be taking me up to her lakehouse tomorrow, I'm hoping to god she will. I need a break, I want to go tubeing and swimming and enjoy the lakey goodness. I just have to find one of my old bathing suits.
And right now Rob and I are discussing me moving up to Missouri with him, although his family is going through some drama right now... I'm so frustraited I can't be there and give them a piece of my mind about the shit that's going on. I care about them, and they'll be my family someday and so I know I don't really have a place in it, but I feel like I do. And at the same time, since I am a 3rd party I do realize I'm able to see more sides to it and hindsight is 20/20, but I kept my mouth shut while I was there and hoped things wouldn't get worse. I'm doubting I would be moving in the next few months, although I'd like it to. Part of the reasoning is I was so depressed here, and I miss him so much and I want to be with him. I may start working on saving up extra money while going to school this semester and then see about moving up with him, finding a job up there and working of finishing school at their community college/a real college when Rob finishes his schooling in 3 years.
But now I'll be late for work :/
